The statement ‘Once the Plan Review is complete, the code official stamps the plans OK, then signs, and dates them’ is true.

The statement ‘Once the Plan Review is complete, the code official stamps the plans OK, then signs, and dates them’ is true.

• A. True
• B. It is required to stamp and sign all plans
• C. It is never done
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Final approval is shown when the code official issues the permit and records approval on the final drawings with the official seal, signature, and date. The action isn’t just stamping the plans “OK” and then separately signing and dating them after plan review. In practice, the seal, the signature, and the date are all part of the formal approval documented on the permit package (and often on the plans themselves) to indicate the project is authorized to proceed. Because of that, the statement as written isn’t correct.
